ADT home security systems are backed by more than 145 years of experience. As the leader in home security, ADT can help you customize a home security system with easy-to-use equipment and special security features to meet your safety needs. We have service centers nationwide that can install an ADT home security system within 24 hours in most areas. Once your home is equipped with our top-of-the-line system, it is connected to a network of ADT Monitoring Centers nationwide which deliver non-stop security monitoring 365 days a year. All of our installation technicians are internal employees, and not third-party contractors. You can count on your Security Advisor to take the time to set up your system properly, help you understand how the system works, and help make sure your home and family are thoroughly protected.

"The alarm, when it goes off, is very loud!!! This is a good thing. If we ever need to activate it, it will definitely scare off anyone trying to come into our home. We can set it off from our phone or from the keyboard control panel that we installed in our bedroom. We feel very safe with this purchase."

"I’ve had nothing but problems with SafeStreets. The installation was a mess—took hours longer than promised, and the technician seemed clueless about the system. When I called customer service, they were rude and unhelpful. The security system itself is glitchy and keeps going offline. Definitely not worth the hassle."

We offer the best quality electrical work, we strive into quality work. Very responsible on our schedule. We offer a clean environment, leave the project cleaned and strive on making the project go smooth as possible and avoid hassles and drama for homeowners.

"In May 2024, we embarked on an ambitious project in southwest Michigan, but ran into a significant setback when our original local contractor failed to show up and abandoned the job for over two months. Fortunately, we were referred to D-Best Electric by another contractor, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. From the moment Oscar and his talented team took over, we experienced a remarkable turnaround. They not only completed the project within the agreed timeline, but their expertise and attention to detail were truly impressive. The crews were exceptionally knowledgeable, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and skill in every aspect of their work. What truly stood out was how D-Best Electric went above and beyond by addressing numerous additional requests and adjustments without any hesitation. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and excellence made a significant difference in the overall experience. Given our outstanding experience, we will undoubtedly rely on D-Best Electric for all our future projects. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any residential or commercial electrical work—trust me, you won’t be disappointed!"

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

This is the topic of much debate, though there is no “better,” as it depends on personal preferences. Some of the components of a wireless system keep working when the power goes out, as they are battery-powered. On the other hand, a wireless system typically connects to your modem and router. Wired systems use landlines to communicate, which never go out on their own unless they’re physically cut.

If you don’t want the hassle of installing smart light switches, you might consider replacing all your bulbs with smart ones. Simply screw in the smart bulb and download the app to allow you to switch the lights on and off remotely. You can even change the bulb color to create a certain ambience in a room. However, these LED bulbs are pretty pricey, especially if you already have specialty light fixtures, and you won’t have to just replace them once like you will with the switches. 

Smart sprinkler controllers cost $150 to $350 or more, depending on the brand, style, and technology. You can swap your traditional timer for a smart controller as long as it's compatible with your system.

The cost to install a new smart sprinkler system from scratch ranges from $1,800 to $7,000, depending on the size of your lawn and the number of zones you need. It’s best to hire a pro to install a sprinkler system because it’s labor-intensive and requires technical skills and specialized equipment.

Types of networks include wired Ethernet for stability, wireless networks for convenience, and powerline networks that use a home's electrical wiring for data transfer. Choose based on your specific internet usage needs.

Yes, many modern humidifiers include digital or smart controls for automated humidity adjustments.
